I'm switching Dextor's training from Persuasion to Streetsmarts and I'm also changing The Stare to Derp.
Because it seems all my characters are heavily Persuasion based and I'd like to try something different.

(Originally, I was going to take Brew Potion but there's no official version of that yet with any specifications.
Spoiler:
So I'm sticking with official talents for convenience sake

I have to agree that with the current ambiguity of Brew Potion, I'm not inclined to use it yet. Besides, this makes a bit more sense anyway; from the way you've been playing him thus far, I haven't seen much evidence of persuasiveness. More like a sharp mind that babbles when he's nervous, making Streetsmarts a better trained skill for the character.

...bwahahahahahaha! That has got to be the most ridiculous and funny theory I've ever heard!

Okay, I have to ask: what in Cheese Wheel's history happened to him that made him so loony?

Because nothing in the character sheet alludes to it. And Fracture the Fourth Wall doesn't mean the character is a nutjob or anything. So why this?

Just curious, that's all.

Appkes Thu Aug 30, 2012 12:32 pm

Whoops. Forgot the second talent. Added. Ready to be indroduced now, checking the thread every half-hour or so until then.

I had actually planned on Cheese Wheel being more sane. His element is Generosity, not Laughter, though I think maybe I should change that. Its that back and forth between him and Kalvin that kinda convinced him to play him as this. Still Cheese isn't genuinely insane, its mostly an act. A ruse to make people underestimate him and to duck out on responsibility.

EDIT: I must admit, I'm having a heck of a time playing Cheese like this.

Looks good to me, Appkes. I'll move things along as soon as Cheese and Zebulon are done discussing automaton hippogryphs. (Man, this campaign is weird already, and I haven't done a thing to make it that way! XD)

"Uhm... About that tuxedo: I'm a size S."

He looked around the compound before directing his gaze back to Starlight, all the while still holding on to her tail.

"This is actually pretty cool." he said before looking straight at Starlight's face.

"You're cool." Spoke Dextor with a slight twinkle of admiration in his eyes as he let go of the tail.

Oh. Oh my. This will be amusing. Twisted Evil

We're just that good at role playing Cool

Oh. Oh my. This will be amusing.

Interesting...

Well, Dextor has his reasons but there's no point in revealing them here Razz

If this is how your characters react to the relatively normal stuff, I can't wait to see their reactions to the really weird stuff! Very Happy

I figured there were reasons... but man, what is it with baby dragons and unicorns? Razz

You think there's any romantic feelings involved?

Meh, believe what you want to believe Twisted Evil

Either way, this will be interesting. Now I actually have something to use Starlight for aside from giving out missions. lol

Starlight definitely does not strike me as the kind of pony who is a love intrest. The personality appears to vary from
Ninja,

Through Soul-less,

And down to Android.

True, but people have fallen in love with less pleasant people before. Just look at the Dursleys!

Robots deserve love too!

Just look at Sweetie Bot and try to tell me you don't want to hug that. Smile

Brony 7 of 9 Thu Aug 30, 2012 3:11 pm

We have a maybe-robot on our team. Are you saying he can't love?

Appkes Thu Aug 30, 2012 3:24 pm

No, of course not!

But I do know who does.

Cardbo Thu Aug 30, 2012 5:35 pm

WoMF, can I change Cheese's Element to Laughter? I don't think Generosity fits anymore.

Doesn't really matter as none of us have Laughter, except for Cheese Wheeln and even then it's still going to be a random d100.

As long as you're not using the forum one, it's cool.

Okay I need to stop being in classes all day because gog dan you guys.

...as a side note, if I'm reading things correctly, which I may not be, we now have one person representing every Element of Harmony on our team. Clearly in no way will this ever be important.

Boop boop beep bop boop.

Huh, never paid attention to that actually.

But remember, Warrior of Many Faces: if you didn't think of it yourself, you're not allowed to use it ^^

No, you don't. Sorry. Both Kal and Cheese have Laughter.

So, Demonu, you're Applejack now? Demonjack?

I'm whatever-I-want-to-be-jack ^^

And that's a general consensus among many role playing groups, not just the FiD one.
